About Us

QuantWare is building the world’s most powerful quantum processors to solve humanity's greatest challenges. We do this with our unique VIO™ technology, the only QPU architecture that breaks the hardware barriers that have held quantum computing back, unlocking the path to MegaQubit quantum processors.

With VIO, we are paving the way for the hyper-scale quantum computers that will change the world. And delivering on that vision demands people who don’t shy away from tackling the hardest challenges of our time. That’s where you come in!

We are seeking a Senior Systems Architect to lead the system-level design frameworks and tooling that enable our Quantum Processing Unit (QPU) technology to be deployed across global Quantum Computing and High-Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructures. In this role, you will own the development of parameterized Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools, full-stack quantum computer blueprints, and standard component libraries. Acting as a key technical lead, you will work closely with system integrators, QPU roadmap teams, and supply chain partners to ensure optimised, deployment ready quantum system designs.

What you’ll be doing

• System Blueprinting & Co-Design: Architect parameterized full-stack quantum computer blueprints (covering QPU requirements, thermal budgets, RF signal paths, cryogenic systems, HPC integration, etc.). Work with partners to co-design systems around our QPUs.

• MBSE Tool Development: Own the development and implementation of our Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tool, defining system modeling structure, logic, trade-offs. Collaborate closely with our Software Development teams on implementation.

• Component Libraries: Build, curate, and maintain standardized component libraries aligning with system models. Identify supply chain trade-offs, interface requirements, risks, etc. Collaborate closely with supply chain management to ensure supply chain readiness.

• HPC-Quantum Interfacing: Define and architect hardware-software control interfaces bridging classical HPC job schedulers (e.g., SLURM, Qaptiva) with the QPU calibration and control layer.

• Ecosystem Alignment: Identify interface, cost, and timeline mismatches between our QPUs and required third-party system components, partnering with Ecosystem Managers to resolve gaps and ensure seamless integration for partner SIs.

Your Profile

• Education: Master’s or PhD in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or Mechanical Engineering.

• Experience: 8+ years of hands-on experience in complex systems engineering, system modeling, or multi-disciplinary hardware architecture.

• System Modeling Expertise: Demonstrated experience with establishing Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies in novel systems (SysML, Python-based digital twin frameworks, or custom MBSE tools).

• Hardware Domain Expertise: Demonstrated experience with complex, high-CAPEX, multi-disciplinary systems involving chip-based architectures, Radio Frequency signal chains, temperature gradients, for example in Aerospace, Defense, HPC, or Semiconductor Equipment context.

• Collaboration: You thrive in a collaborative environment and are comfortable taking ownership from day one.

Don't tick every box? Apply anyway. We know great candidates don't always follow a straight path, and we value diverse experience, perspectives, and ways of thinking. If this role excites you and you believe you can make an impact, we'd love to hear from you!

What We Offer:

At QuantWare, you’ll be part of a high-performing team of world-class experts in an ambitious, fast-moving environment. From day one, you’ll have the trust, tools, and support to do your best work. Here’s what you can expect:

Competitive salary - A salary that reflects the impact and importance of the role (and of course 8% holiday allowance)

Pension that’s built to last - A generous and future-proof pension plan that includes partner and dependent coverage.

Flexibility built on trust - We focus on outcomes. Work flexibly, in a hybrid setup, with an open vacation policy that lets you manage your time

Personal growth - We invest in your L&D, with a budget available to each team member, dependent on their individual ambitions, development needs, and performance

A connected team - We make space to celebrate wins together, with team events, offsites, and spontaneous moments that bring us closer

Diversity & Inclusion at QuantWare

We’re an ambitious company, not only for our goals but also to become an even more diverse and inclusive team. We know this helps us with better decisions, more innovation, and strengthens our culture. In particular, we’d love to see more women in the quantum industry!

So if you’re a female talent, excited about this opportunity but don’t meet every single requirement, we still encourage you to apply.

As part of our recruitment process, candidates may be required to undergo pre-employment screening.
